Temporary Food Establishments (Festivals)
![\"Street](\"/img/street.jpg\")
The spirit of the High Country comes alive with the many festivals and events that take place each year in the Appalachian District. Vendors that prepare and serve potentially hazardous foods are required to obtain a permit from the local health department for each festival or event. Applications for event coordinators and food vendors are available at each health department. These applications must be fully completed and submitted to the local health department prior to each event. As of August 15, 2009 a $75.00 fee will be required from each food vendor to be submitted to the health department with the application. Please note that failure to complete the application, submit the required fee, and meet the requirements for a permit will result in denial of a permit to operate.
